Hi uh I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and have only done one edit so far (on the Italian profanity page). Can you give me some tips on how to improve my profile Summary? Dinah Kirkland (talk) 20:58, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Regarding Crayon Shin-chan's origin

Hi TheFairix, With great difficulty I had found the original story and inspiration behind Crayon Shin-chan. I would like to know why do video interviews aired on television are considered as "unreliable sources". Sometimes I feel we on Wikipedia are going against our own common sense. I would appreciate if you can also come to the talk page on Crayon Shin-chan. Thank You. Anwesh pati (talk) 12:46, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

One, because the links are a clear violation of WP:COPYLINK, which also means that they are also unreliable sources. Second, YouTube video was clearly upload to your own account, which would serve as a conflict of interest, but also clearly cites Wikipedia as a source. This violates WP:CIRCULAR and therefore cannot be used. Remember that any link to YouTube must comply with these polices as well as WP:SELFPUBLISH. —Farix (t | c) 13:00, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

What I understand now is - 1) Information from Japanese (or any other) Wikipedia can't be linked as references. 2) YouTube videos (the one of a different user) can't be linked as it itself violates copyright (of NHK World in this case). 3) YouTube videos which are uploaded to personal accounts amount to self promotion and can't be linked. So what do you suggest? How can we add this information? I wanted to make things clear about Crayon Shin-chan's origin as there is a fake story which has gone viral online. It goes like this - "Shinchan was a real boy who died in a car accident while trying to save his sister Himawari, but failed. Her mother got depressed and started drawing the memories of her kids using crayons. The author found these works and made into a manga. Shinchan would die in the last episode." This absolutely BS story has got over two million views on YouTube.[1] What's more surprising that a large number of people believe this story. Hence I wanted the actual story (Crayon Shin-chan being a spin off from Darakuya Store Monogatari) to be known to everyone. Is there any legal way to let it be known?

Looks like you don't have a reliable source then. If there is no reliable source to verify the content, the content does not belong on Wikipedia. If you want the content on Wikipedia, you MUST have a reliable source. —Farix (t | c) 11:32, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Idiot

Do you realize that English episodes of Naruto Shippuden no longer air on TV? They are only released on DVD. Meaning that the dates I put are accurate, dipshit
